Intergraph Selected by Progress Energy

HUNTSVILLE,
Ala., July 6, 2005 –> Intergraph Corporation today
announced Progress Energy has selected Intergraph’s G/Technology™ to upgrade
and merge disparate AM/FM/GIS systems within its two electric utilities,
Progress Energy Florida and Progress Energy Carolinas. Progress Energy will
upgrade its existing FRAMME-based AM/FM/GIS applications combining them into a
common G/Technology network model for all of Progress Energy. The centralized
system will improve data access for Progress Energy employees such as project
planners, designers, GIS operators, inspectors and maintenance teams in the
field. Progress Energy will use G/Technology as the core enabling technology of
a comprehensive Geospatial Resource Management (GRM) system that streamlines
service delivery workflows. The GRM system will enable Progress Energy to
respond to outages more quickly, to better manage incoming and existing data,
and more efficiently capture, design, and analyze network asset information for
enhanced customer service and reduced operating and administrative costs.

“Intergraph’s
extensive experience with utilities globally enables us to offer a solution
that will provide an open architecture for upgrading and integrating the two
Progress Energy utilities into an open, fully digital GRM environment,” said
Jay Stinson, vice president and general manager, Intergraph Security,
Government & Infrastructure. “This will allow Progress Energy personnel to
have the information they need at their fingertips and respond faster to
customer demands.”

Using
Intergraph’s G/Technology as a foundation, the centralized system will enable
Progress Energy to streamline day-to-day work processes, integrate key
corporate systems and serve as a platform for ongoing application extensions, maintenance
and upgrades. The upgrade to Intergraph’s G/Technology will enable Progress
Energy to meet their objectives to increase productivity, minimize data errors
and reduce restoration time for customers.

“As
an Intergraph user since 1996, upgrading our existing FRAMME application to
G/Technology is a natural transition,” said Director of Distribution Services
Becky Harrison, Progress Energy. “Intergraph’s commitment to customer support
and service is an important aspect of our business relationship. G/Technology
represents a strong technology foundation that is unprecedented in its openness
and adherence to industry standards, making it the best solution to handle both
our Florida and Carolina systems.”
